"way too early" with jonathan lemire is up next. donald trump has completed his presentencing interview with a new york probation officer after being convicted in his criminal hush money trial. what sources are saying about what happened during that private proceeding. plus authorities release a new mug shot of rudy giuliani as part of the arizona fake electors case to change the results of the 2020 election. we'll show you how giuliani responded just moments after being processed. and also ahead, dramatic new video of the moment israeli special forces rescued three male hostages being held by hamas in gaza. what we now know about where they were found and how the daring mission unfolded. good morning and welcome to "way too early" on this tuesday, june 11th. i'm jonathan lemire. thanks for starting your day with us. former president donald j. trump completed his virtual interview with a new york city probation officer late yesterday afternoon. a source familiar with the matter said the interview was short, lasting less than 30 minutes, and described it as uneventful. it was conducted by private videoconference with trump's lead attorney, todd blanch, by his client's side. the interview was part of a mandatory process ahead of the july 11 sentencing. following trump's conviction last month on 34 felony counts in his hush money trial. the probation officer who conducted the interview will now deliver a report to judge merchan who will use it when determining trump's sentence next month. meanwhile, trump says he stands side by side with a group that wants to, quote, eradicate abortion entirely. the presumptive 2024 republican nominee virtually addressed the members of the danbury institute yesterday. on the group's website they refer to abortion as the greatest atrocity facing our generation today and child sacrifice. they also oppose so-called unbiblical ideologies that are attacking america's children including lgbtq emphases. yesterday trump referred to those as, quote, our values and effectively praised the danbury institute for its work. >> i want to thank each and every one of you for your tremendous devotion to god and to country and your support of me. your work is so important. we can't afford to have anyone sit on the side lines. now is the time for us to pull together and to stand up for your values and for our freedoms. i hope we'll be defending them side by side for your next four years. these are going to be your years because you're going to make a comeback like just about no other group. i know what's happening. i know where you're coming from and where you're going, and i'll be with you side bide side. >> elsewhere one of trump's associates new york city mayor rudy giuliani was booked by the new york city maricopa office for his role in the fake electors case. giuliani and his allies are facing convictions for their efforts to overturn the election. when asked whether he had any regrets regarding his efforts giuliani had this to say. >> do you have any regrets about what you did in arizona after the election? >> oh, my goodness, no. i'm very, very proud of it. >> it's been three years. we haven't found anything, haven't seen anything. many people have tried. >> many people are covering it up. >> like who? >> the president of the united states. >> do you believe you'll be acquitted am. >> this is a complete misuse of the criminal process to interfere with the 2024 election. >> so much to fact check there including his tie. meanwhile the biden campaign is out with a new ad that hits donald trump during a campaign rally he had in las vegas just this past sunday. take a look. >> because i don't want anybody going at me we need every voter. i just want your vote, i don't care. >> i'm joe biden and i approve this message. >> short and sweet. in just hours the jury will resume deliberating for a second straight day in a wilmington, delaware, courthouse. the jury got the case late yesterday following instructions from the judge and after hearing closing arguments from both the defense and the prosecution. prosecutors lay out what they described as overwhelming evidence against the president's son. hunter biden's attorney argued that prosecutors had not met their burden of proof in terms of proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt. earlier in the day the defense rested its case without calling hunter biden to testify. first lady jill biden was present in the audience for yesterday's proceedings as she has been throughout the trial. hunter biden has pleaded not guilty to three felony counts tied to a possession of a gun while using narcotics and lying on a government form. it's unclear how this case will impact the presidential race, but certainly those close to president biden are deeply concerned about the personal toll it will take on hunter biden's father. joining us now anthony coley who previously served as the top spokesperson for attorney general merrick garland. anthony, good to see you here on set in washington. let's talk about the hunter biden case first. what's your read on yesterday's closing arguments? >> so here's what's so interesting about this case, jonathan, is that there's a lot of circumstantial evidence here. we talked a lot about the passages in the book and then there are the text messages that all suggest that hunter biden was not sober during this period of time. but there is no smoking gun. there's no eyewitness here, so you can see a scenario where a jury says, you know, the government has not met its high burden of proof. that's the first thing. the second thing to me is a lot of what's happening off the stand, the unconditional love this man is receiving from all of his family not just through this trial but through his period of addiction. and number two, this reiteration that we heard from the president last week that he's going to respect the jury's verdict, and even if they return a not guilty verdict, that he would not pardon his son. and i can tell you if the shoe were on the other foot not only would donald trump not make that promise, this case -- a case of a similar -- a case looking at his family, you can see a scenario where he would not even have let it get this far. you know, he would have practically burned down the justice department if an obama era u.s. attorney was investigating his family. >> and biden has been very hands off. and briefly, what's the rule of thumb in terms of how long the jury will deliberate? could we get a verdict today? >> we could very well get a verdict today. one day of deliberation for every day the trial went on. that's the rule of thumb. they could come back they told the judge we deliberated for a couple days and we don't have a verdict, they're split. >> we'll turn to trump for just a moment. do you think the prosecution proved their case? >> i'm not the lawyer, so i'm not going to render my verdict, but i hope that hunter biden will be able to move on with his life. >> let's turn to donald trump's probation interview yesterday. it's a standard part of the procedure, about 30 minutes or so, but tell us why it matters and that includes because if he ends up with probation, he's not allowed to associate with other people who have criminal records themselves, have spent prison time, and at that point that's a lot of people in his universe including just the other day steve bannon. >> that's exactly right. plus also interesting here are the factors that go into whatever report that the probation officer provides, right? and you've got to imagine that they're going to consider donald trump's efforts to accept the norms and the rules, and we know from just looking at this case, this is a man who has violated the norms and the rules, you know, ten different times he refused to accept this, narrowly tailored gag order. so it's going to be interesting to see how this one plays out. >> we are now precisely one month from donald trump's sentencing. today is june 11th. that comes july 11th. this probation here scheduled yesterday, are there other markers, procedures or events we should be looking for between now and that sentencing at the end of the month. >> no, i think right now what typically happens in the process the probation officer will prepare a report for the judge, and the judge obviously is the one that's going to make whatever determination he feels is appropriate in this case. >> and we will see if that includes prison time. msnbc justice and legal affairs analyst anthony coley, thank you. good to see you as always. next up here we'll bring you the latest from the middle east amid new reporting the biden administration is potentially looking at negotiating a deal with hamas to release american hostages in gaza. it's not clear if israel would be part of those talks. plus, donald trump's repeat conviction in new york could means he loses the liquor license at some of his golf courses. we'll have those stories, the other top headlines, as well as a check on sports and weather when we come right back. a check when we come right back. sup?
